Motorway Trip

[bluenose1940]

Went on a run yesterday up and back mainly on the M5. I have to say that I saw no difference whatsoever as regards centre lane hogging, it's just the same as it always was.

I was driving on the inside lane and looked in my mirror and I could see a very long way back and there, in the centre lane was your committed hogger, nothing at all behind me on the inside lane but, he just stayed there and continued to do so after he had passed me!

Even more amazing was the fact that at one point, I was doing 70mph, nothing behind me and just a few cars some way ahead of me and then blow me, I look in the mirror and coming up in the outside lane is a whole line of cars, I counted 11 of them as they passed me, all still remaining in the outside lane and once again, they continued to drive in the outside lane until they disappeared from view.

I imagine that at some point one of the 11 would get frustrated and then overtake in the middle lane!

Just downright bad manners....pure and simple. You would not want any of them as friends and certainly not invite any of them to dine with you.

Just carry on as you are and let the idiots pass you by.

Trouble with these people is that they have read a book that says the 1st lane is just for getting into the 2nd lane as quick as possible after joining the motorway and when leaving the motorway use as little as possible time spent in the 1st lane to exit the motorway. Using the hatching is is perfectly OK, sod every body else.

The book is called "The idiots guide to being a perfect, 100% ****hole on Britains roads"
